But the days of police raids and dodgy doctors are gone.

Nah, just changed sports :)

Walk away then. It’s only sport, it’s not important.
The UCI have been at the vanguard of anti-doping, the biological passport was a game changer in fighting doping. Anne Gripper fought long and hard to get that past internal opposition and WADA indifference.
The sport has changed because of it, and for the better. Long gone are the outrageous dopers who effectively laughed in the faces of the authorities, today the sport is far, far cleaner. Of course it’s not perfect, and there are teams, including Sky, who exploit the grey areas around what is medical need and what is performance enhancing.
